Some Species Require a Large and Diverse Range

question 23

Essay

Some species require a large and diverse range.Although it may not significantly decrease the overall size of the range, how might fragmenting the range with a freeway or neighborhood lead to the extinction of the entire population, even if sufficient food is available in either region to sustain two smaller populations? Suggest a compromise that would allow the population to survive and allow for the road project or neighborhood.
